First, the brilliant Madame Giry gave us a true gumshoe experience with her organized Biography Contest - which attracted many people's attention. A slew of sleuths put in their feathered quills into the ring and gave their artistic side a try. Emmeline Bogart was deemed the best bio writer of the year with her winning bio. Next came the glamorous Avatar "Beauty" Pageant which Greyling did an excellent job organizing. After a short voting session, the votes were tallied and the beautiful and dazzling Serena Siren was named the 2006 Sleuth Beauty Queen, with Chwanes alongside her as the runner-up.

Yes, everyone had enjoyed these two wonderful contests... but what contest should be coming up next? Contests boost community spirit, and they are an awful lot of fun, too.

What I had in mind for the next contests (these are simply ideas which can be changed to suit an organizer's liking)...

>>The First Annual Sleuth Mystery Writing Contest: Contestants write a short mystery with themselves as the detective, creative suspects, innovative clues, and the townies. They pick their favorite Sleuth city and write and write and write. Nothing too long, nothing too short. A killer must be revealed in the end. An appealing title must be chosen. All entries must be submitted via e-mail to the judges e-mails. Judges gather in a reclusive corner to discuss the entries. Winner is picked, and a special prize is handed out.

>>The First Annual Sleuth "Talent" Show: Are you poetic? A good writer? A funny comedian? Contestants show off their talents in the first Sleuth "talent" show. Contestants must submit their talent and perform what they know in a special thread. Judges or voters will select the winning talent and the performer. Prize is given out.

That sounds like a lot of fun...I love reading people's bios - everyone is so creative, and it would be great to read more by such talented authors :)
